Thanks for your message aharvey.
The nodes have now been removed.
osm.org/changeset/52009366
Uploading it to the live server remained the only efficient way to rectify the images which I am aware of. As I required a free and open wms tile service, which included relatively up-to-date map data, and which I could modify (with edits reflected in a timely manner) to include the points to rectify the images against

It may be appropriate to remove these lines, as I am yet to complete mapping the area and may need to use them again it could be useful to retain. The lines now have no tagged attributes aside from the note=*

Following up from this, originally these were created as the roundabouts themselves formed good starting points, but are way to inaccurate to align the images. It was not put in a local dataset as the images were rectified outside JOSM, where wms tiles were supported but any vector data (such as osm files) was not.

Hi Warin61 and aharvey, this changeset is in response to a message from OSM user hadry. Below is a copy of correspondence between myself and OSM user hadry: Hi Hadry, Thanks for your message, yes these were tagged for the renderer, as barrier=fence makes a clearly visible straight line on Mapnik. I captured some aerial imagery around the time when these were made, and needed to reference the imagery for imagery rectification, so added these lines. The purpose was to remap this area in greater detail, but I never got around to finishing the project, so never removed the lines. I have now removed the barrier=fence tagging. osm.org/changeset/51899959 osm.org/relation/7560478 I have retained the ways as it would be useful to use in the near future.

Correction to previous: your > you

Hi trigpoint,
Each way was tagged by hand. This is not an automated edit as described by the link your provided, although the use of an editing program (automation) increased the speed of the process. To verify the validity of the intersection, each change made in the edit including tagging was done by hand. Without a very good reason (like there was no roundabout or road there) the original geometry was left untouched. At these intersections the road has been split by some user. It seemed inappropriate to recombine it in places due to the presence of a median. As the purpose of this edit was to remove tagging errors (highway=mini_roundabout on a way) and not to change geometry, there were two potential changes which could have been made; the highway=mini_roundabout moved to a node (and geometry of the roundabout (only) changed) or the way made a highway=roundabout (mini_roundabout being a valid subset of roundabout). So again as it was not the purpose of this edit to change geometry, and errors would have been created by changing the geometry of the adjoining ways, this was changed to highway=roundabout.

Some changes have been made to this changeset (#50341042). Please note the meanings and how to use the following tags before any future edits using these keys: motorway; motorway_link; trunk; and trunk_link. osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway Also ensure that relations are not negatively affected, and all redundant tags are removed (Also note that the ways you edited specifically had note=not freeway on them at the time you edited them, and oneway=yes). Cheers, aaronsta

Note: there were some significant issues with this edit, it seems the editor moved some ways

Hi russj79,
I just wanted to make a note with a few of your edits in Caversham, these edits occurred about 2 years ago! So it has taken this long for them to be picked up!

When tagging roundabouts don't use highway=turning_circle this is only for certain cul-de-sacs. Use junction=roundabout instead. No roundabouts in Australia are named (no name tag) (some rotaries are though) Also please don't forget to split roads/ways to separate roads when they have different properties!

Changeset reverted in full as it constitutes vandalism

Road previously classed as trunk as it was deemed a "dual-carriageway". While this road section is a dual carriageway this is not a classification of Main Roads (MRWA) Beyond Safety Bay Rd and Kwinana Freeway intersection the road is no longer a road with Control of Access. If the logic of “being a dual-carriageway” is used then beyond Safety Bay Road it should be classed as a trunk road. Sometimes it is not appropriate to use the statutory road classification. As a result this section of road is a motorway as it has some limited access aspects to it.

Hi there, yes I do think that is what happened Ill do a quick edit now and have a proper look at it later

Unfortunatley I cannot work out a way to remove nodes without tags as it will also bring up ways without tags and relation nodes and ways without tags. But you seem to know what you are doing SomeoneElse, please let me know if I can help.

Another person has been working hard to try and remove these changesets, if the most recent changeset does not match one of those three above then it may have been their changeset which created the untagged nodes. If the tags can be restored through a revert of smaller changesets then the nodes can be easily deleted. I do not advise reverting one of the three above as they are quite larger and probably overlap with work you have done.

Hi SomeoneElse, with regards to the edits I have done relating to this data.
All of these edits did not constitute of anything other than the data that was later removed by the three changesets I listed above.
The data was added with:
40051763
40051946
40052185
40052416
40052639

Other changesets involved include:
40195315
40195330

40195392

Hi there, This data added by this sequence of changesets was removed in the changesets:
40292745
40293650
40293839

All nodes, ways and relations and their tags were attempted to be removed in these changesets. Unfortunatley as I am now aware some nodes failed to be deleted in full. I did experience internet connection troubles at the time of the changeset revert and had to cancel the upload of data. This may explain the resulting issue. I will investigate to resolve this.

Contruction is still in progress for landscaping. All traffic movements are now open. It was completed in late March 2016 when this changeset went live. http://gatewaywa.com.au/news/latest-news/filter&archive=true?start=30

Hi there, although this changeset is old, a note on using highway=give_way and highway=stop tags. These generally should only be applied to nodes of traversable ways (I.e a node on a highway=residential) just prior to the intersection node, and not to isolated nodes as it thus serves no practical purpose if applied to isolated nodes.

(Sorry for so many comments but you should consult the wiki for further information, it may be found at: osm.wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dgate) Thanks :)

(editors like JOSM mark such features as validation errors)
